1 red grapefruit, refrigerated
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
aluminum foil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT



Broiled Grapefruit With Brown Sugar and Flaky Salt image

A classic at a fancy breakfast or brunch, the best broiled grapefruits have a glossy caramelized topping covering sections of the warm, juicy citrus. This recipe also includes a little cinnamon for a heady fragrance, and a touch of sea salt, which softens the bitterness of the grapefruit peel. It's best served warm from the oven, when the brown sugar is still melted and syrupy. Ruby or pink grapefruits make for the prettiest presentation, but white ones work just as well, and have a livelier, more acidic flavor.

Categories     breakfast, brunch

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 grapefruits, preferably pink or ruby
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Honey, for drizzling
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
  • Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
  • Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED GRAPEFRUIT

Lightly caramelized fruit makes for a great, healthy start to your day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pink or red grapefruit, halved
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. With a paring knife, loosen grapefruit segments from membranes and pith.
  • Sprinkle grapefruit with sugar and cinnamon. Broil on a baking sheet until tops are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Top with yogurt, and garnish with more cinnamon.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 106 g, Fat 1 g, Fiber 1 g, Protein 4 g

Tips:

  • Select the right grapefruit. Choose grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Zest the grapefruit before broiling. Zesting the grapefruit releases its aromatic oils and helps the sugar caramelize during broiling.
  • Broil the grapefruit until it is slightly caramelized. The grapefruit should be tender and slightly browned on the edges. Avoid over-broiling, as this will make the grapefruit bitter.
  • Serve the grapefruit immediately. Broiled grapefruit is best served warm. You can top it with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Conclusion:

Broiled grapefruit is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of grapefruit, including its high vitamin C content. Broiled grapefruit is also a low-calorie and low-fat snack that can help you stay full and satisfied. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing snack, try broiled grapefruit.
